    Dandyglide -- Male - 12 moons


    The blue tom confidently poked his head into the thicket that was the Elder's den, careful not to disturb any of the rickety structure.


    "Helmwo?" he called in a quiet voice around a mouthful of plump mouse. "Hello? Is anybody here?" he asked in a little louder voice after he set the mouse down. Dandyglide stepped fully into the den as he continued to anyone who might be listening, "I'm looking for the wise and respected members of the clan." The new young cat could be sarcastic, but at this time he was very genuine.


    He sat down, slowly licked a paw, and said in a little less confident voice, "I've just been welcomed into the clan, after traveling on a long journey to make a new life for myself, and I thought I might start by having a meal and conversation," he paused and sheepishly grinned. "...or ten... with some great cats of the clan that could explain the way of life here and / or some history."


    He smiled and kneaded the ground in happy anticipation of cats who might give their time to help such a clueless, naive cat.


    "Please, is there anything you would care to share with me?" he asked very politely as he groomed his chest fur down.

    "Hold on, it sounds like there's some commotion outside..." Dandyglide said and padded out to investigate.


    * * * * (Time skip)


    Dandyglide padded back in to the elder's den with his mouth nearly bursting with many, many fresh squirrels. He was followed by [random apprentice] who had offered to help carry the cray rodents back from the Squirrel Attack Badge Event.


    He dropped them down, motioned for the apprentice to do the same, sat down, and curled his tail back over his paws. Once comfortable, he looked into the darkness of the den again and said to any elder listening, "Now then, where were we?"

    OOC: Well Bumblestorm is a senior warrior, not an elder yet, but he still has a few tales to tell.


    The long-haired dark blue tabby tom padded out from the warriors den, spotting Dandyglide. Wasn't the tom only apprenticed a few moons ago? Well, anyway the tom-cat padded up toward the young warrior. "Hi Dandyglide," he said cheerfully before settling himself down. He wrapped his long tail around his large paws. The bulky tabby tom was looking very well-fed these days. He glanced over at the apprentice's den, spotting his kits playing around.

    "Oh, hello," Dandyglide purred, very happy to have some company.


    "Since I only recently joined the clan, I was just asking the Elders if they could share any history of the clan, or the way of life in a clan," he said while smiling at the tom that dwarfed his small frame in size. "But it seems that even the temptation of a free meal couldn't rouse them from their slumber." Dandyglide winked and nodded at the squirrels at his feet.


    This cat seems friendly enough, and not in as much of a hurry as the other. I wonder if he'll share any stories with me...


    "How long have you been with the clan?What do you like about it?" Dandyglide asked, trying not to sound desperate for information.
